THE PALACE OF JEYPoRE

Seven stories of such wild and lovely
structure as you would expect to see only
in dreams rise here one above the other
in rose, red and snowy white balconies,
oriels, arches, pilasters, lattices and
domes-gay everywhere with frescoes and
floral ornaments. In this lowest floor,
which is kept-like the second and third
as winter residence, we are permitted
to inspect priceless volume, the abstract
of the Mahabharata, in Persian, made
by the orders of Akbar the Great, at a
cost of 940000 and illustrated in the
most exquisite manner with colored and
gilded miniature pictures of an incredible
delicacy. The Shobha Newas, floor above
is full OF strange paintings on the wall,
and arcades embellished with groteeque
shells of copper, silver and foil. Next
we ascend to the Cuhabi Nswas, or shall
Of splendor," shining polished marbles
and colored ensmelng. Above this is
the Shish Mahsl, the pavilion of glass,
with endless patterns wrought in little
mirrors let into carved plaster work, and
above that we step forth upon the Mokt
or crown of the palace, where the vast
roof is encircled with shady alcoves and
open cham bers, vaulted by graceful cur
we'd cupolas. Beneath lie the green pal
ace gardens, full Of pomegranates, palms
and bananas; and beyond, the spread of
the countless busy streets and lanes, grid
led by the walls, and overhung by the
encircling hills, topped with forts and
temples. 1t is vain to attempt any de-
scription of that enchanting prospect,
more absorbing than any which India
herself can offer. Nature and man have
here allied themselves to produce the
most perfect and lovely landscape con-
ceivable. In green and gold, in rose
color and white, In distant, dim blues and
grays, the gardens and the city, and the
far off walls and mountain ridges of am
Der, group together at our feet-a picture
to delight the eye and feast the mind.
But how can words reproduce Govinda's
temple, between the upper and lower
gardens; the snow-white sides OF the Ba-
dial Mahal or cloud palace on the edge of
the lake; the dark rampRrts of the fortress
in the mountains, and those long lines of
rose-red streets which intersect Jeypore?
To complete the rich eolors of the scene,
feast is beng given to Brshman men
and women on one OF the many fiat roofs
of the upper palace, and attendants go
about bearing the maharaiah's bounty IN
the form Of cakes and sweet-meats amid
some three hundred and four hundred
men and women clad In holiday dresses
of crimson and purple, saffron and blue,
glittermg like flowers in the sun, which
shines upon the "City of Victory" as if
the people were indeed his children.
Whoever has viewed that prospect from
the palace roof of Jeypore has seen India
in her mmost grace and beauty.-Lon-
don Telegraph.

The Hnme Girt1e.
GOLDEN RAIN.

Three children crouched in an archway. for
shelter from the rain,
They all we're poor and ragged, but one had a
look of pain.
And pair of crutches rested beside her on the
stones,
And in their childish chatter, her voice had
the gentlest to mes.
For awhile, with noise and laughter, they
romped as children WILL
Then they grew weary waiting, and feeling
the damp air chill
Sat closely beside each other, Watching regret
fully,
The dark rain falling, falling, from the gray
and cloudy sky.
Lets sing" said the cripple, gently; and
through the noisy street
Their voices echoed, singing that old song, so
true aud sweet,
OF "the happy land of heaven, and happy
children there,
Who dwell forever safely in the Fathers How
ing care"
When the simple hymn was ended the young
est singer said.
"Does it rain in heaven, Polly?' The lame
girl shook her head,
And II don't know she answered, with a
puzzled, doubtful air,
Perhaps the flowers want water, yeti think
it's fine up there"
And then with sudden gladness, brightly she
smiled again
why, if God MAKES rain in heaven, it must
be golden rainl"
You smile at the childish fancy, and yet, for
you and me,
The words have holy lesson, of what our
faith should be:
For evermore the humble, the children in
heart, are blest,
Because they can fully trust Him. who knows
and does ne best.
To such, whether God gives gladness, or care,
and grief and pain,
The showers he sends upon them are always
golden rain

SPARROWS AND CABBAGE
WORMS.

Every time see the flock of about fifCy
European sparrows that harbor about
my premises and a near neighbours feel
like taking off my hat and apologizing
for past harsh conduct toward these
much abused birds. A wheat field cor
ners near my house, and as soon as the
kernels were sufficiently ripened to be
plucked out by the birds they began their
depredations, and continued them until
the wheat was cut and housed beyond
their reach. Meantime reduced their
numbers with the shotgun as opportunity
occurred. l have aplot of growing cab
bage. and during my leisure moments
all this time had busy work fighting
cabbage worms. Soon after the wheat
was drawn in the worms seemed to have
disappeared, except an occasional one
that craWled down into the head and hid
himself from view. Wondering what
the cause could be, concluded that
parasite had attacked and destroyed the
worms; but on arising before "sun-up'
one morning found flock of sparrows
busily engaged in breakfastlng upon my
cabbage worms, and they continue to re-
peat their visit every morning now, al
though they get little for their labor

THE DEcEITFut. KANoARoo


Lamb like as is the face of the kanga-
roo, tender and soft as are his eyes, he is
by no means as gentle and tender as he
looks. Like "the heather Chlnee," his
countenance bellies him, and there are
few more exciting and, withal, dangerous
sports than kangaroo shooting. To the
hunter, seeking for some new sensation,
visit to the wilds of Australia in search
of ksngaroos can be recommended. 1t re-
quires q feet horse to run an old one
down il he gets fair chance to show
tail and strong we'll trained dogs to
tackle him when brought to bay. Inside
his soft, dewy lips are strong, formidable
teeth, which can bite severely. His fore
paws, weak as they seem, can lift dog
high in the air and crush him to death;
while, when lying down, his favorite
fighting attitude, he can kick with his
powerful hind legs in manner that rap
idly clears circle around him, and woe
betide the man or dog that comes in
reach of those huge claws, which can make
a flesh wound deep enough to MAIN the
enc or kill the other. OF COURSE we speak
of the great kangaroo, the boomer, or old
man of the colonists. As matter of fact,
there are some thirty different kinds of
kangaroos inhabiting various parts of
Australia. They vary in size from the
tiny hare kangaroo of South Australia,
to the several giant spec les, some of
which stand nearly six feet high.-Lon.

"AMERIcA."

The meaning of the name Amerigo has
been often discussed, the only thing GER
tain being that it is one of tn ose names
of Teuton mic origin, like Humberto, Alton
20, Grimaldi, or Garibaldi, so common in
Northern Italy, which testiies to the
Gothic or Lombard conquest. Americ,
which occurs as early as 744 A. D., is pro-
baby a contracted form Of the name
Amalsric, borne by king of the Visi-
goths, who died in 531. A Bishop EN-
rich was present at the Council of Sails
bury in S07, and an Americas Ballstorius
is mentioned in the Close Rolls (thir-
tenth century, 1t has been conjectured
that the stem is im from which we get
the name of Emma. The meaning of
this is not known with certainty, through
Ferguson thinks it may denote "strife'
or "noise." Since, however, the name is
probably of Gothic origin, and since the
Amalungs were the royal race of Ostrs-
goths, it is more likely that the stem is
anal, which was formerly thought to
mean "without spot" but is now more
plausibly connected with the old Morse
ami, labor, work. The suffix ric, cognate
with re1. reich, and rick, means "rich'
or powerful" and therefore, the most
probable Specification OF Amerigo is
"strong for labor" Isaac Taylor, in
Notes and Queries.
